Michael Jackson Meets Metal

Hey guys,
So I've seen Beat It and Smooth Criminal as requests in a ton of videos so I figured why not give a shot at a MJ medley. Thank you guys so much for everything. It means the world. Big ups for all the suggestions, messages, comments, subs, donations, fan art, and support. An extra big ups to everyone who's voting for me in the Golden Gods. I can't even express how thankful I am. You guys, like always, keep rockin my casbah!
Best to ya

[@zionofthetribeofLevi144k]

So is annie ok?

[@streglof]

Why, what's wrong with Annie?

[@enzoalmiron1346]

Yesterday I played a League of legends game with Annie. I die 15 times and i killed 2 enemy champeons . So I think she isn't Ok..

[@CDotRico]

Kanrol 35 PLEASE ANYONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHO'S ANNIE

[@zionofthetribeofLevi144k]

[@Sakitsunebi]

Gamers Planet Well its definitely not Billie Jean..

[@killiancraftofcraftyworks975]

[@cyclonerampage]

lmao

[@sugoruyo]

She gonna be once she hears this...

[@cancera73]

whhaaaa........?rip annie. rip.

[@rockstarali99]

Killian Sebastian Craft She just got an eargasm from the uniquely modified MJ licks. No she isn't!

[@meganhipsher9036]

I love how you smile while you play. It does in fact show that you enjoy your talent, but it also proves that metalheads aren't all grump-assy like we are portrayed to be.

[@R4GNAR0G]

Wish MJ is still here to watch you jamming his songs. Bet he's gonna be completely amazed too~ Just sayin'.

Watch out guys we got a badass over here.

[@unclecuddles5232]

Nick Soepie THAT SENTENCE HAD TOO MANY SYLLABLES! APOLOGIZE!!!

[@danielgouge4639]

This guy is an Iron Maiden fan. I hear the influence in his playing yet of course has his own style. Good Job on these MJ songs

[@baddong2190]

He quite often puts a solo from a famous metal band in his songs as an easter egg, The Hobbit had Fear of the Dark for one, Children of Bodom is in his Gotye one, and i know hammerfall is in one but i always forget which haha. And megadeth was in his recent Eminem one :D

[@Wardrumsfire]

hey 331Erock just stopping by to get my daily fix. hope you had a rocking Christmas

[@Mybookishbehaviour]

So heres the thing, I'ma HUGE MJ fan and i have been my whole life. I'm the biggest MJ advocate and I rep so hard lol. I critique everything and THIS… is freaking amazing!!! You're super talented and this just made my day! thank you!!

[@ClaWs369]

Sharlene Was he a pedo? I never really understood why everyone was saying that, did he do something or ... ?

[@sweiland75]

Vic Rattlehead No.

[@Mybookishbehaviour]

no

[@samy29987]

Sharlene Couldn't agree more, this is just flawless!

[@magnusm4]

Sharlene he's the only person who gets more than 3 videos in my favorite list.

[@mattb8075]

The King of Pop would be proud of you, sir.

[@DeadPixel1105]

Listening to this is becoming an addiction.

[@saadelboughabi7377]

1st, you're incredibly talented, any Star would love to work with you, cause you're a star. 2nd, That smile XD, you're playing very hard but even that, you're just smiling...

[@NParker87]

You should be famous for the Michael Jackson cover of "Smooth Criminal", not Alien Ant Farm? This version puts that crud they call of cover into the ground with a ton of cement on top. Killer!

[@JodiGilar]

Both are awesome on their own respective genre..

[@AskMeddi]

259 people are not okay, are not okay annie.

[@starvinmarvinltd1927]

[@udittlamba]

[@nature2835]

[@unclecuddles5232]

Demonex no that's just erock but his awesomeness is easy to confuse with a god though

[@unclecuddles5232]

GhostHunterLP just because he's better than you doesn't make him the devil, you're insecurity however indicates a massive level of butt-hurt-a-tude

[@Pomlithe]

Damn, just reading through these comments. Some kid thought Smooth Criminal was by AAF? That cover wasn't even that good.

[@MickHenney]

They're just too young to know hahaha :-)

[@MickHenney]

John Hooten Thanks for notifying on my poor english. Ever thought of typos or the fact that things goes a little quickly once in a while and that not all are English as you might be? Always so easy to hide behind a nick name on the Internet and ridicule other people. However I am so grateful for your utterly and gracious gramma correction. Thank you so much!

[@SixString_J5]

* Thanks for notifying me of my grammatical error. Have you ever thought that English might not be my first language, and that I type too fast and sloppily to notice? Regardless, I am grateful for your gracious correction. Thank you. You're welcome Mick. Secondly, my screen name is clearly my actual name. Happy holidays, and study up, son.

[@schootingstarr]

watching you it looks so easy :(

[@Xeranxies]

I personally would have liked to see Dirty Diana, that song would be awesome at a metal song.

[@oropios1]

michale Jackson is sure smiling happy for your talent Go on man ! you are great

[@reggieh6038]

[@msDanielp369]

[@LetsplayIndieGamesChannel]

gawd daaymm..... Michael would aprove! and you got the kindest smile ever dude :D would so love to learn from you

[@MrVashGaming]

Like several others I've seen in the comments, I believe what I love most about watching your videos is the way you smile throughout. This, to me, is how you're supposed to feel when you're doing what you love. Amazing. Simply amazing.

[@deltaorophiena9668]

Michael should be honored 👌

[@PrincessUndertaker]

Agreed!

[@Wardrumsfire]

3:08 ALL HAIL THE KING !!

[@ReachSkyla]

You had me sold at "they dont care about us." Genius.

[@ayyylmao101]

I know! Fantastic!

[@anthonybell564]

I like that you smile because it shows that you love doing what you do. Keep it up and don't let anyone tell you not to smile. :)

[@8mu-]

I love how happy you look playing! Keep up the good work man! Much talent, such wow.

[@RealNickyBoy15]

I'm soooo glad I finally found this video!!!! Cause my coach plays this on the speakers during wrestling practice and I love it. Keep it up bro!!!

[@wardkdouglas]

Eric I'm gonna fly to LA from Pennsylvania, break into your house, and steal your guitar tones. I neeeeeeeeed them!!!!

[@RoadT123]

I'll do it from Moscow - good reason to finally check out LA))

[@jjbonedi1]

You can get them right now. Get Guitar Rig 5, he uses the "for the love of god" preset. Boom, tone achieved.

[@ZetsubenSama]

You got a new Quest :P Bring me the hair and you would be a´n Adventurer like me *-*

[@003Jetfire]

I guess that would make you *puts on shades* a smooth criminal YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

[@digitalbamph]

[@Bluntermocha]

MJ is and always will be the king of pop

[@andreit3601]

Everything was just awesome! But when 4:40 started... that knocked me out of my chair! Words cannot how purely epic that was (only music can)!! That is probably one of the best solos I have ever heard :)

[@detexicap398]

Chrome users, I want to share with you the greatest invention of all time, especially usefull on 331Erock's videos. Double-rightclick on the video and press Loop. You're welcome!

[@connieclark5648]

detexicap awesome,thanks for the info

[@thagodfather007]

detexicap Nice!

[@liamburgher4288]

detexicap you are amazing

[@royvincentguardados2016]

detexicap Loop? I can't find that. where?

[@detexicap398]

Roy Vincent Guardados You should be able to rightclick twice on the same spot, and then you'll find the video controls. Loop should be in there. This is unfortunately not possible if you are using the beta youtube player :

[@TiasAhlgreN]

Cuz' all I wanna say is that they dont really care about us! Yet another fucking amazing cover, I have grown accustomed to not expect anything lesser than "fucking amazing" from you man! : ) You just inspired the fuck out of me, to once again pick up the guitar and put some time, energy & effort into starting to play again and challenge myself to reach another level. For that I thank you my Nordic brother. : ) May your life be filled with perfectly timed shreds, rock on man. THE METAL WILL LIVE ON!

[@RKO619ification]

[@jackster9775]

Are you kidding? Erik would be his only guitar person.

[@collt091]

Your totally right probably

[@drexsk8427]

As a metal enthusiast, guitarist and crazy like the rest of us, I use a Line 6 pod but cannot get anywhere close to this with the looping feature it provides, please share your secret tool so I may purchase it and become as divine as you!

[@xplosive96]

Great tribute! :D Hey, man, what about making a cover of "Give In To Me" by MJ? I would like you to play it.

[@EmilChristensenHeaton]

You are legend 331Erock The best song of michal Jackson and u did the perfect thing that can be done on that song I ADMIRE YOU!

[@munkah]

MJ would certainly approve of this!

[@athermedia91]

[@summercollison6638]

Damn your good and that's a really nice mix

[@markmcnary1785]

You are one killer guitar slinger bro, and i can't say enough about how good you are, the Star Wars and the other things you've done have blown me away.

[@albamonster93]

I don't use to like metal music but this stuff is fucking good! Love it.

[@tylerwalker2602]

[@retroworldgames139]

Is it me or do his covers sound better than the originals?? :O

[@D1g1talMess]

It's not just you.

[@alpaca150]

Depends on the artist or song for me.

[@patrefkorwa8290]

is it only me who realized that everything is possible?

This must be the hundredth time i've watched this. Big up for the support?! NO! Big ups to you sir! for both being a god and having fun while you do it

[@magicboyra5746]

[@Manny123-y3j]

Dude! The part where you play "They Don't Care About Us" is freaking AWESOME!!! Stellar work on this!

[@Helmi268]

Michael would be so proud.

[@BannWorthRulz]

Could you imagine Pellek singing this song? Awesomeness!!! Unless he already has? Edit: Nevermind he already has lol!!!!

[@sugoruyo]

They do the occasional collab as well.

[@balgord]

Stephen Bannworth pliz, no one can cover MJ voice :s

[@FlutterGuy98]

Well, I'm pretty sure that he can't given that even though he does have a 4 octave range, it's D2-C6 compared to Michael's F2-F6 range. However, PelleK can go pretty high with his range.

[@Hugh.Manatee]

Sound is great, hair is awesome, stage presence... Oh well, can't win 'em all ;)

[@DawnOfRuin]

That's not a stage... lmao

[@lilglockhorizontal]

Symbiosis XI I'm assuming you don't know what stage presence is

[@DawnOfRuin]

MJJ Productions I'm assuming youre dumb as hell. Ohp, assumption correct.

[@lilglockhorizontal]

Symbiosis XI You're not one to call me dumb when you don't know how to use apostrophes and when you don't know what stage presence is. I, however, know both

[@BobSleighization]

MJJ Productions what he means is that you don't need stage presence when you're performing in your living room, I'm sure on stage, Erock would be headbanging, jumping about, etc.

[@nisreenikli8867]

You somehow managed to make metal covers of legends better than the originals. I respect that. You, sir have a gift. Subbed.

[@haileyschoenfelder570]

Awesome

[@FezojTrebor]

I didn't know Loki could play guitar.

[@ahmedalhosani8057]

ErockVEVO!!!!!

[@hector-1610]

Dude, props for these awesome recreations. I've always wondered how themes for classic cartoons like Johnny Bravo, Scooby-Doo, Ben 10, or even Tom & Jerry would sound like. If there's anyone who can make them sound boss, it's you man.

[@ConnorSmith-lh7uw]

***** dare to be stupid/weasel stomping day medley

[@jackster9775]

Boo

[@SalamiCC]

I don't like Micheal Jackson but if his musics were like this I'd probably listen to them every night and day. ^^

[@SalamiCC]

***** ALL his musics xD

[@michamankowski5781]

SalamiCC Well, Absolute Entertainment meant that Michael has also songs in which guitar was used like "Beat it" with Van Halen's amazing guitar solo (excelent style of playing called tapping created by him), there are also guitar parts in Black Or White (just start in the beginning), beautiful guitar in Dirty Diana, you should listen Dirty Diana of Jackson from Bad album, his music was pop but this song has something to do with rock. " Dirty Diana is a song by American singer Michael Jackson featuring guitarist Steve Stevens" (It's from wikipedia) it's really cool song, you should like it, this is not typical metal like Black Sabbath or old Metallica's songs like "The Four Horsemen", "Seek and Destroy" or "Metal Militia" from Kill'em all but still very nice.

[@SalamiCC]

.

[@SilverAoW]

SalamiCC I would listen to Smooth Criminal by him. That's my favorite.

[@alexjimenez3288]

Michał Mańkowski or give in to me, by mj.

[@compassconpaz560]

You have so much skill with the guitar. Nice to see that you smile while you play. I can see and hear your love for metal in all your videos Thanks for sharing your talent. Subscribed...awhile ago actually

[@darkf8304]

Great playing. Personally I can't stand the eye winking and the smiling & shit-I really hate it but, that's just me. Do your thing..

[@curtisharris9336]

Lol whats wrong with smiling he is happy nothing wrong with that.

[@darkf8304]

There's nothing wrong with him being happy. Being happy is important. But I suppose I have what you call a rebellious nature; anti establishment.. and I don't know, smiling-winking & metal? To me don't mix..I guess it sort of rubs me the wrong way, like arrogance? Anyway, like I said, that's just me. I'm a realist and am fully aware that I'm one single dot in a world freckled with other opinions and so, I know what I think doesn't really matter-but that doesn't mean I'll pass up an opportunity to speak my mind...

[@darkf8304]

....but the guy has an awesome talent and hope he's used in a way that exemplifies his talents because clearly he's very special and needs to be heard-and seen, that is if the smiler's cramp is treated & corrected...lol

[@Zereniti77]

darkf8 "But I suppose I have what you call a rebellious nature; anti establishment." Watch out, we got a badass over here!

[@nykowow]

darkf8 you are partially right,i also have a similar feeling, to me it looks like he is trying not to show the "aggressiveness" of this music or at least trying to make it visually softer still keeping a powerful playing, i love these videos, thanks s much @331Erock!

I love how he sings along with himself playing! He's amazing.

[@charles67198]

It would be seriously great I do you did this to dirty Diana. Such an under rated Michael song. Better than beat it In my opinion.

[@hooter63]

I've seen a few guys do EVH's "Beat-it" solo, always trying to sound, "as good", Man, you just schooled Eddie. I never thought I'd say that. Peace!

[@counterretort]

As in all your videos, your harmonies and layers are so beautiful. Incredible work!

[@anonimofied]

alien ant shit

[@pamelaraffel9142]

Erock you have this innate ability to make every style and technique you use look absolutely effortless and you also look relaxed and seem to enjoy it all. Hard work it takes to make it look so easy but you also don't act elitist about it like it's not a big deal. You are not a poser or a charade. You come off as yourself not someone trying to impress everybody. I love it. Thanks for all you do for music.

[@stanlee7231]

You are definitely from another planet! you are AMAZING! Respect and dont stop doing this stuff!

First off, GO LANTERNS! Second, that was an amazing cover. I was literally pumped up bobbing my head to ur beasting melody. BRAVO! /slowclap
